For several years Mrs. Snipes has been a subject of protracted affliction caused by an injury received in a fall and during all the long hours of her pain she has exibited a beautiful submission to God's will. "Through uncomputed space, I shall yearn, upward to the waiting face of God; the Heavens shall roll aside for me. As Moses monarched the dividing sea. This is my house, it is not I; Triumphant in the faith I live and die"
